Wii Bowling 2023 RULES

1. Register your Wii bowling team by August 1st to have a chance to qualify to compete in the playoffs and earn a place at the Wii World Series Championship in Springfield, IL in October.  (Registration Opening Soon!)

2. A team consists of 4 to 6 players (all team members must be current SL residents and registered on the AALC roster).

3. A team MUST have at least 4 players to be considered for the qualifying round of competition.

To Compete for a Playoff Spot:

Teams must submit two scores to AALC’s League Commissioner by no later than August 1, 2023.  Games must have been played during July.

The top team in each region will advance to the playoffs. If there is a region that does not have a team entered, the overall highest scoring team after all regional teams have been selected will advance to the regional playoffs.

 A photo of the television screen displaying the final score for the “league” games must be submitted to AALC along with your team’s scores. There is a designated area on the score reporting form for your photos to be uploaded. Photos are not accepted via email or text. 

 Teams that qualify for playoffs must be available to bowl 4-6 additional weeks beyond the regular season.

Scoring

  • Each game is worth a maximum of 300 points. Additionally, spares and strikes are to be totaled and reported on the bowling score sheet.
  • When a tie occurs, the team with the highest number of total strikes will be considered the winner. If both teams have the same number of strikes, the total number of spares will then be considered.

Note: Teams may use either the “Resort” version or “Sport” version of Wii to bowl their qualifying games, but ONLY the sport version will be used to bowl during the Final Four competition in Springfield.

Wildcard Selection:

There is one wildcard spot.  To be considered for a wildcard spot, teams must register with AALC by August 1st and submit an explanation to the AALC League Commissioner by no later than August 1st as to why they should be selected to fill a wildcard spot.
